Bifolio from a Book of Hours: Text (verso)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two-page spread from an old book with yellowed parchment pages. The pages are filled with handwritten text in brown ink, written in an old language, likely Latin, using a Gothic script. The text is arranged in a column down the center of each page. The letters are adorned with decorative flourishes. The first letter of several paragraphs are colored blue or red. There are watercolor-style splotches of blue and brown on the top left page. The pages have small tears, dark spots, and discoloration. The right page has a red line drawn down the center. The background behind the book is plain gray.
